Valentines Kiss

Whether you are a fan of Valentines day or not this cocktail is definitely worth treating yourself to and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

I have to thank my friend Chelsea for this one as she served it (minus the alcohol!) at her daughter's Birthday party and from the moment I tried that first sip I knew it would make the most perfect cocktail! Of course it is also delicious without the alcohol and makes a perfect punch for a party if made in large quantities. It is super easy to make and can be mixed in a flash so make sure to keep the ingredients on hand for a quick and delicious cocktail!

Whenever I've made this, I popped some ice in a cocktail shaker with the other ingredients then quickly shake everything together before straining into cocktail glasses. However, as someone pointed out to me, due to the carbonation of the Ginger Ale if you shake too much it could end up very messy! (Whoops!! Guess I've been lucky!) So to avoid you being covered in this delicious drink perhaps the best advice is to  keep all of your drinks well chilled then mix directly into your glass.

Serves 1

90ml White Cranberry Juice, chilled

90ml Raspberry Ginger Ale, chilled

60ml Vodka or Gin, chilled (optional)

Pour everything into a cocktail glass then give a quick stir before sipping and enjoying! 

Alternatively if you don't have chilled drinks you can pop the cranberry juice and vodka (or gin) together in a shaker with ice then pour into your cocktail glass before topping with the Ginger Ale!

Cheers!
